Q: A Tune Magician that was Special Summoned by the effect of Call of the Haunted is face-up on my opponent’s field. Can I activate the effect of Number 101: Silent Honor ARK by targeting that Tune Magician? A: Tune Magician cannot be used as Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Material for a Summon unless all other monsters used are also “Magician” Pendulum Monsters, but becoming an Xyz Material by the effect of Number 101: Silent Honor ARK is not considered being used as Xyz Material for a Summon. Therefore, a face-up Attack Position Tune Magician that was Special Summoned can be attached to Number 101: Silent Honor ARK as an Xyz Material.

Q: I Special Summoned an Acrobatic Magician with the monster effect of Tune Magician. Afterward, if Acrobatic Magician is destroyed by battle, can I activate its effect that places it in my Pendulum Zone? A: In this scenario, if Acrobatic Magician was Special Summoned by the effect of Tune Magician, its effects are negated and it is banished when it leaves the field, so the destroyed Acrobatic Magician is banished instead of being placed face-up in the Extra Deck. When it is banished, its effect that places it in your Pendulum Zone can be activated normally and it is not negated by the effect of Tune Magician. Therefore, the banished Acrobatic Magician is placed in one of your vacant Pendulum Zones.

Q: The Phantom Knights of Shadow Veil that was Special Summoned by its own effect is then banished when it leaves the field. Can I activate The Phantom Knights of Mist Claws by targeting that banished copy of The Phantom Knights of Shadow Veil? A: Even if it was banished by its own effect after being Special Summoned, The Phantom Knights of Shadow Veil is not treated as a banished “The Phantom Knights” monster. Therefore, The Phantom Knights of Mist Claws cannot be activated by targeting it.

Q: Can the second effect of The Phantom Knights of Mist Claws be activated more than once at a time when an opponent’s monster declares a direct attack? A: The effect of The Phantom Knights of Mist Claws that activates in your Graveyard can only be activated once per declaration of an opponent’s direct attack. If there are 2 or more copies of The Phantom Knights of Mist Claws in your Graveyard, each one can activate its effect when an opponent’s monster declares a direct attack, but if there is only 1, its effect cannot be activated more than once during this attack declaration.

Q: When an opponent’s monster declares a direct attack, I activate the second effect of The Phantom Knights of Mist Claws in my Graveyard, targeting The Phantom Knights of Ancient Cloak. If I chain Phantom Knights’ Fog Blade, so that the attacking monster is unable to attack, how will the effect of The Phantom Knights of Mist Claws resolve? A: When resolving the effect of The Phantom Knights of Mist Claws that activated in the Graveyard, even if the monster that declared a direct attack can no longer attack, it will resolve normally. (In this scenario, The Phantom Knights of Ancient Cloak is Special Summoned, and The Phantom Knights of Mist Claws is also Special Summoned as a Level 3 monster.)

Q: When an opponent’s monster declares a direct attack, I activate the second effect of The Phantom Knights of Mist Claws in my Graveyard, targeting The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves. If my opponent chains the effect of their D.D. Crow and banishes The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves, how will the effect of The Phantom Knights of Mist Claws resolve? A: In this scenario, since the targeted The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves is banished by the chained effect of D.D. Crow, the effect of The Phantom Knights of Mist Claws is not applied. (It will remain in your Graveyard.)

Q: When an opponent’s monster declares a direct attack, I activate the second effect of The Phantom Knights of Mist Claws in my Graveyard, targeting The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves. If my opponent chains the effect of their D.D. Crow and banishes The Phantom Knights of Mist Claws, how will its effect resolve? A: In this scenario, the targeted The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves will be Special Summoned from the Graveyard normally. However, since The Phantom Knights of Mist Claws was banished from the Graveyard, it is not Special Summoned.

Q: The Phantom Knights of Mist Claws is Special Summoned by its own effect along with The Phantom Knights of Cloven Helm. In this situation, if Book of Moon is activated, and The Phantom Knights of Mist Claws is changed to face-down Defense Position, what happens to its Level? A: If The Phantom Knights of Mist Claws was Special Summoned by its own effect, its Level is the same as the Level of the monster targeted with its effect. In this scenario, The Phantom Knights of Cloven Helm was targeted, so The Phantom Knights of Mist Claws is Special Summoned as a Level 4 monster. If it is then changed to face-down Defense Position by the effect of Book of Moon, it will still be treated as a Level 4 monster. (The effect that banishes it when it would leave the field is no longer applied.)

Q: The Phantom Knights of Mist Claws is Special Summoned by its own effect along with The Phantom Knights of Silent Boots. Afterward, if The Phantom Knights of Silent Boots leaves the field, is it banished? A: Only The Phantom Knights of Mist Claws is banished when it leaves the field if it was Special Summoned by its own effect. Thus, “The Phantom Knights” monster that was targeted and Special Summoned by this effect (in this case, The Phantom Knights of Silent Boots) is not banished if it leaves the field.

Q: During my Main Phase, I activate Speedrift and Special Summon a Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice. Upon its Special Summon, can I activate the effect of Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice? Also, can my opponent activate Torrential Tribute? A: When a monster is Special Summoned by the effect of Speedrift, neither player can activate cards or effects in response to the Summon, so neither the effect of Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice nor Torrential Tribute can be activated in this scenario.

Q: My opponent activates Speedrift and Special Summons a Speedroid Taketomborg. Upon its successful Special Summon, will the effect of my Ryu Okami activate? A: In this scenario, if your opponent activated Speedrift as Chain Link 1, the effect of Ryu Okami will not activate afterward. Note that if your opponent activated Speedrift as Chain Link 2 or higher, the Special Summon will be performed before other effects in the Chain resolve, and afterward the effect of Ryu Okami will activate.

Q: While there are 3 face-up monsters on my opponent’s field, I activate Predator Blast by revealing 3 “Preda” cards in my hand, targeting those 3 monsters. If my opponent chains Compulsory Evacuation Device, and returns one of the targeted monsters to their hand, how does Predator Blast resolve? A: In this scenario, Predator Blast was activated by targeting 3 monsters, but one was returned to the hand so that it is no longer on the field when Predator Blast resolves. Even in this case, a Predator Counter is placed on the remaining 2 monsters.

Q: While there are 3 face-up monsters on my opponent’s field, I activate Predator Blast by revealing 3 “Preda” cards in my hand, targeting those 3 monsters. If my opponent chains Forbidden Lance, and makes one of the targeted monsters unaffected by the effects of Spell Cards, how does Predator Blast resolve? A: In this scenario, Predator Blast was activated by targeting 3 monsters, but one is no longer affected by the effects of Spell Card when Predator Blast resolves. Even in this case, a Predator Counter is placed on the remaining 2 monsters.

Q: When Fusion Summoning Bloom Prima the Melodious Choir with the effect of Ostinato, which Fusion Materials can I use? A: Bloom Prima the Melodious Choir requires 1 “Melodious Maestra” monster and 1 or more “Melodious” monsters as Fusion Materials. While performing a Fusion Summon with the effect of Ostinato, you can only send a total of 2 monsters from your hand or Deck as Fusion Materials, so you will send 1 “Melodious Maestra” monster and 1 “Melodious” monster from your hand/Deck to the Graveyard. (You cannot send 3 or more monsters to the Graveyard.)

Q: I activate Ostinato and Fusion Summon a Bloom Prima the Melodious Choir. Now, can my opponent activate Torrential Tribute? A: When Ostinato is first activated, the last part of its effect to resolve is considered the Special Summon of a “Melodious” Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck. Therefore, when Bloom Prima the Melodious Choir is Fusion Summoned from the Extra Deck in this scenario, your opponent can activate Torrential Tribute.

Q: I activate Ostinato and send Mozarta the Melodious Maestra and Sonata the Melodious Diva from my hand/Deck to the Graveyard to Fusion Summon Bloom Diva the Melodious Choir. In this case, when the effect of Ostinato is applied during the End Phase, what happens? A: If Bloom Diva the Melodious Choir is Special Summoned with the effect of Ostinato, since Bloom Diva the Melodious Choir is not destroyed by card effects, it is not destroyed by Ostinato during the End Phase. In this case, you cannot Special Summon any of its Fusion Material monsters from the Graveyard.

Q: I activate Ostinato and send Aria the Melodious Diva and Elegy the Melodious Diva from my hand/Deck to the Graveyard to Fusion Summon Schuberta the Melodious Maestra. If Vanity’s Emptiness is activated this turn and its effect is applying during the End Phase, how will the effect of Ostinato be applied? A: Even if the effect of Vanity’s Emptiness is applying during the End Phase, the effect of Ostinato will still destroy the Special Summoned Fusion Monster. Since you cannot Special Summon, you are not able to Special Summon any Fusion Material monsters from your Graveyard. (In this scenario, Schuberta the Melodious Maestra will be destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, while Aria the Melodious Diva and Elegy the Melodious Diva remain in your Graveyard.)

Q: I activate Ostinato and send Aria the Melodious Diva and Elegy the Melodious Diva from my hand/Deck to the Graveyard to Fusion Summon Schuberta the Melodious Maestra. Afterward, if my opponent activates the effect of D.D. Crow and banishes Elegy the Melodious Diva from my Graveyard, how will the effect of Ostinato be applied during the End Phase? A: Even if one of the monsters sent to the Graveyard as Fusion Materials with the effect of Ostinato is no longer in the Graveyard during the End Phase, the effect of Ostinato will still destroy the Special Summoned Fusion Monster. Since all the Fusion Material monsters that were used for the Fusion Summon are not in the Graveyard, you are not able to Special Summon any monsters from the Graveyard. (In this scenario, Schuberta the Melodious Maestra will be destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, while Aria the Melodious Diva remains in your Graveyard.)

Q: While there are no cards in my Graveyard, I activate Polymerization. When resolving its effect, I send Lunalight Blue Cat and Lunalight Kaleido Chick to the Graveyard and Fusion Summon a Lunalight Cat Dancer. In this scenario, can I activate the effect of Lunalight Kaleido Chick and add the Polymerization that just resolved back to my hand? A: Even in this scenario, if Lunalight Kaleido Chick was sent to the Graveyard by the effect of Polymerization, Polymerization will be in your Graveyard afterward. Thus, you can activate the effect of Lunalight Kaleido Chick and return that Polymerization to your hand.

Q: If Lunalight Kaleido Chick is banished from the Deck by the effect of Gold Sarcophagus, can I activate its effect of Lunalight Kaleido Chick that prevents my opponent from activating card effects during the Battle Phase? A: Even if Lunalight Kaleido Chick is banished from the Deck by the effect of Gold Sarcophagus, its effect can be activated. (Lunalight Kaleido Chick will be added to your hand normally during your second Standby Phase after activating Gold Sarcophagus.)

Q: If I activate Pot of Desires and banish a Lunalight Kaleido Chick face-down among the 10 cards from the top of my Deck, can I activate its effect of Lunalight Kaleido Chick that prevents my opponent from activating card effects during the Battle Phase? A: If Lunalight Kaleido Chick is banished face-down when activating Pot of Desires, its effect cannot be activated.

Q: If I activated the effect of Lunalight Kaleido Chick that prevents my opponent from activating card effects during the Battle Phase, can my opponent still perform the initial activation of Spell/Trap Cards during this Battle Phase? A: If the effect of Lunalight Kaleido Chick has been applied, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects during the Battle Phase, including the activations of Spell/Trap Cards, monster effects, and the effects of Spell/Trap Cards.

Q: If I activated the effect of Lunalight Kaleido Chick that prevents my opponent from activating card effects during the Battle Phase, can my opponent still activate card effects from the Graveyard, such as the effect of Necro Gardna or the second effect of Burnout? A: If the effect of Lunalight Kaleido Chick has been applied, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects during the Battle Phase, including the activations of Spell/Trap Cards, monster effects, and the effects of Spell/Trap Cards. Therefore, during this Battle Phase, your opponent cannot activate any cards or effects including those outside of the field.

Q: If I Normal Summon a Windwitch – Glass Bell and activate its effect, but my opponent chains Mistake, which parts of the effect are applied? A: When resolving the effect of Windwitch – Glass Bell, if the effect of Mistake is applying, you do not add a “Windwitch” monster from your Deck to your hand. (You do not check the contents of your Deck.) Even in this case, the part of the effect that prevents you from Special Summoning monsters other than WIND monsters for the rest of this turn is applied normally.

Q: If I Normal Summon a Windwitch – Glass Bell and activate its effect, but my opponent chains the effect of Effect Veiler and negates the effects of Windwitch – Glass Bell, which parts of the effect are applied? A: When resolving the effect of Windwitch – Glass Bell, if its effects have been negated by Effect Veiler, you do not add a “Windwitch” monster from your Deck to your hand, also the part of the effect that prevents you from Special Summoning monsters other than WIND monsters is not applied.

Q: I Xyz Summon a Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling using 2 Level 1 monsters as Xyz Materials, and activate its first effect targeting my Totem Bird. If Book of Moon is chained to this effect, and Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling is changed to face-down Defense Position, how does its effect resolve? A: When resolving the effect of Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling, the targeted monster gains 300 ATK and DEF for each Xyz Material currently attached to Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling. In this scenario, although Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling was changed to face-down Defense Position by the effect of Book of Moon, it is still on the field with Xyz Material. Therefore, Totem Bird gains 600 ATK and DEF.

Q: I Xyz Summon a Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling using 2 Level 1 monsters as Xyz Materials, and activate its first effect targeting my Totem Bird. If Compulsory Evacuation Device is chained to this effect, and Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling is returned to the Extra Deck, how does its effect resolve? A: When resolving the effect of Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling, the targeted monster gains 300 ATK and DEF for each Xyz Material currently attached to Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling. In this scenario, since Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling is no longer on the field, Totem Bird does not gain any ATK and DEF.

Q: My Xyz Summoned Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling is changed to face-down Defense Position by the effect of Book of Moon. In this case, if that face-down Defense Position Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling is attacked by my opponent’s Ancient Gear Chaos Giant and I take piercing battle damage as a result, will the last effect of Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling apply? A: Even in this scenario, a face-down Defense Position Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling is still treated as a monster that was Xyz Summoned. In this case, Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling has 0 DEF while the attacking Ancient Gear Chaos Giant has 4500 ATK, and because of the effect of Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling, both players take 4500 battle damage simultaneously. (Note that Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard normally.)

Q: My Xyz Summoned Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling is banished by the effect of Farfa, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss until the End Phase. Afterward, if my Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling battles my opponent’s Virgil, Rockstar of the Burning Abyss, will the last effect of Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling apply? A: Even in this scenario, Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling is still treated as a monster that was Xyz Summoned. In this case, Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling has 0 ATK while the attacking Virgil, Rockstar of the Burning Abyss has 2500 ATK, and because of the effect of Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling, both players take 2500 battle damage simultaneously. (Note that Lyrical Luscinia – Recite Starling is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard normally.)

Q: Level Limit – Area B is face-up on the field, and its effect changes all face-up Level 4 or higher monsters on the field to Defense Position. In this situation, can I activate the effect of Superheavy Samurai Daihachi that changes it to Attack Position and adds a “Superheavy Samurai” monster from my Deck to my hand? A: Even while the effect of Level Limit – Area B is applying, you can activate the effect of Superheavy Samurai Daihachi. In this case, the effect of Superheavy Samurai Daihachi changes it from face-up Defense Position to Attack Position, but the effect of Level Limit – Area B changes it back to Defense Position immediately. Even so, you still add a “Superheavy Samurai” monster from your Deck to your hand normally.

Q: I activate the effect of Superheavy Samurai Daihachi that changes it to Attack Position and adds a “Superheavy Samurai” monster from my Deck to my hand. If Book of Moon is chained to this effect, and Superheavy Samurai Daihachi is changed to face-down Defense Position, how does its effect resolve? A: When resolving the effect of Superheavy Samurai Daihachi, if it has been changed to face-down Defense Position, it is not possible to change it from face-up Defense Position to Attack Position, so no effect is applied.

Q: If either Yosenju Shinchu L or Yosenju Shinchu R are not in my Deck, can I activate Yosenju’s Divine Mountain Winds? A: If either Yosenju Shinchu L or Yosenju Shinchu R are not in your Deck, you cannot activate the effect of Yosenju’s Divine Mountain Winds that places them in your Pendulum Zones, but if you have a Level 5 or higher “Yosenju” monster in your Deck, you can still activate the effect that adds a Level 5 or higher “Yosenju” monster from your Deck to your hand.

Q: If any cards are present in my Pendulum Zones, can I activate the effect of Yosenju’s Divine Mountain Winds that places Yosenju Shinchu L and Yosenju Shinchu R from my Deck to my Pendulum Zones? A: The effect of Yosenju’s Divine Mountain Winds that places Yosenju Shinchu L and Yosenju Shinchu R in your Pendulum Zones requires that both of your Pendulum Zones are vacant. Therefore, if you already have a card in your Pendulum Zone, you cannot activate that effect of Yosenju’s Divine Mountain Winds.

Q: I activate Yosenju’s Divine Mountain Winds and place Yosenju Shinchu L and Yosenju Shinchu R from my Deck to my Pendulum Zones. During this turn, my opponent activates Mystical Space Typhoon and destroys that Yosenju Shinchu L. In this case, during my opponent’s next End Phase, what happens to Yosenju Shinchu R? A: If either Yosenju Shinchu L or Yosenju Shinchu R that were placed in your Pendulum Zones by the effect of Yosenju’s Divine Mountain Winds are no longer present in your Pendulum Zones, the other card is still destroyed during your opponent’s next End Phase normally. (In this scenario, Yosenju Shinchu R is destroyed during your opponent’s next End Phase.)

Q: I activate the Pendulum Effect of Abyss Actor – Twinkle Littlestar, targeting my face-up Abyss Actor – Leading Lady. If Book of Moon is chained to this effect, and Abyss Actor – Leading Lady is changed to face-down Defense Position, how does the effect of Abyss Actor – Twinkle Littlestar resolve? A: When resolving the Pendulum Effect of Abyss Actor – Twinkle Littlestar, even if the targeted monster is in face-down Defense Position, the effect will be applied normally. In this scenario, if Abyss Actor – Leading Lady is changed to face-up Attack Position by an effect such as Book of Taiyou, it can attack monsters up to three times during each Battle Phase this turn, also other monsters on your field cannot attack.

Q: Abyss Actor – Evil Heel and Abyss Actor – Superstar are face-up in my Monster Zone. In this situation, I activate the Pendulum Effect of Abyss Actor – Twinkle Littlestar, targeting my face-up Abyss Actor – Evil Heel. During the turn this effect is applied, if I do not declare an attack with Abyss Actor – Evil Heel, can I still attack with Abyss Actor – Superstar? A: During the turn the Pendulum Effect of Abyss Actor – Twinkle Littlestar is applied, monsters other than the targeted monster cannot attack regardless of whether that targeted monster has attacked or not. Therefore, even if you do not declare an attack with Abyss Actor – Evil Heel in this scenario, Abyss Actor – Superstar cannot attack this turn.

Q: If D/D/D Flame King Genghis is Special Summoned from my Extra Deck with the effect of Cyber-Stein, can I still activate the “● Fusion” effect of Dark Contract with the Grotesque Entity? A: The “● Fusion” effect of Dark Contract with the Grotesque Entity can be activated when a “D/D/D” Fusion Monster is Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, not only by Fusion Summon but also the effects of cards such as Cyber-Stein.

Q: If D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried is Special Summoned from my Extra Deck with the effect of Limit Overdrive, can I still activate the “● Synchro” effect of Dark Contract with the Grotesque Entity? A: The “● Synchro” effect of Dark Contract with the Grotesque Entity can be activated when a “D/D/D” Synchro Monster is Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, not only by Synchro Summon but also the effects of cards such as Limit Overdrive.

Q: If D/D/D Duo-Dawn King Kali Yuga is Special Summoned from my Extra Deck with the effect of Xyz Shift, can I still activate the “● Xyz” effect of Dark Contract with the Grotesque Entity? A: The “● Xyz” effect of Dark Contract with the Grotesque Entity can be activated when a “D/D/D” Xyz Monster is Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, not only by Xyz Summon but also the effects of cards such as Xyz Shift.

Q: If D/D/D Doom King Armageddon is Special Summoned from my Extra Deck with the effect of Pendulum Reborn, can I still activate the “● Pendulum” effect of Dark Contract with the Grotesque Entity? A: The “● Pendulum” effect of Dark Contract with the Grotesque Entity can be activated when a “D/D/D” Pendulum Monster is Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, not only by Pendulum Summon but also the effects of cards such as Pendulum Reborn.

Q: If Super Polymerization or Urgent Tuning are activated at Chain Link 2 or higher, so that a “D/D/D” monster is Special Summoned from my Extra Deck before other effects in the Chain have finished resolving, can the appropriate effect of Dark Contract with the Grotesque Entity be activated? A: If a “D/D/D” monster is Special Summoned from your Extra Deck by an effect that was Chain Link 2 or higher, you cannot activate the effect of Dark Contract with the Grotesque Entity.

Q: When I Synchro Summon D/D/D Gust King Alexander, I activate the “● Synchro” effect of Dark Contract with the Grotesque Entity. If Book of Moon is chained to this effect, and D/D/D Gust King Alexander is changed to face-down Defense Position, how does the effect of Dark Contract with the Grotesque Entity resolve? A: When resolving the effect of Dark Contract with the Grotesque Entity, even if the Synchro Summoned D/D/D Gust King Alexander is in face-down Defense Position, your opponent will not be able to target it with card effects while it is on the field.

Q: When I Synchro Summon D/D/D Gust King Alexander, I activate the “● Synchro” effect of Dark Contract with the Grotesque Entity. After the effect resolves, if my opponent activates Book of Eclipse and changes D/D/D Gust King Alexander to face-down Defense Position, what happens to the applied effect? A: In this scenario, if D/D/D Gust King Alexander is changed to face-down Defense Position by the effect of Book of Eclipse, the effect of Dark Contract with the Grotesque Entity is no longer applied. Therefore, your opponent will be able to target your D/D/D Gust King Alexander with card effects.

Q: If Raidraptor – Arsenal Falcon has Raidraptor – Blaze Falcon as its only Xyz Material, can it attack twice during each Battle Phase? A: In this scenario, while Raidraptor – Arsenal Falcon has a “Raidraptor” monster attached as Xyz Material, it can make attacks during the Battle Phase equal to the number of those materials. Therefore, since Raidraptor – Arsenal Falcon has only Raidraptor – Blaze Falcon attached as an Xyz Material, it can only attack once per Battle Phase.

Q: If Raidraptor – Arsenal Falcon has Raidraptor – Blaze Falcon and Overlay Regen as Xyz Materials, how many times can Raidraptor – Arsenal Falcon attack per Battle Phase? A: In this scenario, while Raidraptor – Arsenal Falcon has a “Raidraptor” monster attached as Xyz Material, it can make attacks during the Battle Phase equal to the number of those materials. Therefore, since Raidraptor – Blaze Falcon is the only “Raidraptor” monster attached as Xyz Material, Raidraptor – Arsenal Falcon can only attack once per Battle Phase.

Q: When my Raidraptor – Arsenal Falcon that has Raidraptor – Revolution Falcon attached as Xyz Material is sent to the Graveyard, I activate its effect that Special Summons another “Raidraptor” Xyz Monster from the Extra Deck and attaches Raidraptor – Arsenal Falcon to it from the Graveyard as an Xyz Material. If my opponent chains the effect of D.D. Crow to this effect, and banishes Raidraptor – Arsenal Falcon from my Graveyard, how does its effect resolve? A: As in this scenario, even if Raidraptor – Arsenal Falcon is no longer in the Graveyard when its effect resolves, you still Special Summon a “Raidraptor” Xyz Monster from your Extra Deck. The part of the effect that attaches Raidraptor – Arsenal Falcon to the Special Summoned monster is not applied.

Q: I activate the effect of Flower Cardian Tsukihanami. If the card I draw is not a “Flower Cardian” monster, do I still skip my next Draw Phase? A: The effect of Flower Cardian Tsukihanami skips your next Draw Phase even if you do not draw a “Flower Cardian” monster or Special Summon one with this effect. If you activate the effect, the part of it that skips your next Draw Phase will be applied normally.

Q: While the effect of Vanity’s Emptiness is applying, can I activate the effect of Flower Cardian Tsukihanami? A: Even if the effect of Vanity’s Emptiness is preventing players from Special Summoning monsters, you can activate the effect of Flower Cardian Tsukihanami. After drawing a card, the effect finishes resolving and you skip your next Draw Phase.
